Fuses

A 02200010MXP is a non-current interruption device, primarily used to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by excess current. The 02200010MXP is an increasingly popular fuse, used in a wide range of applications due to its small size, reliability and affordability. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the 02200010MXP.

Application Field

The 02200010MXP is suitable for a wide range of applications, from industrial to automotive and consumer electronics. It is particularly well-suited for applications where space is at a premium, such as in applications within automotive or other compact control systems. It can also be used in applications where a high-speed response time is required, as it can blow within several milliseconds when the current it is protecting is exceeded.

The 02200010MXP is also becoming increasingly popular in military and aviation applications, where its reliability and fast response are invaluable. It is also suitable for applications where multiple fuses are required, as it is a radial leaded product, meaning it is easier to connect several fuses in parallel by hand.

Working principle

The 02200010MXP operates by sensing the current in a given circuit and triggering a response when the current exceeds a predetermined level for a specified amount of time. To sense the current, the mini-molded fuse features an internal sensing element that acts as a micro-switch, with contacts that open and close based on the amount of current received.

When the current in the circuit exceeds the defined limit, the sensing element will be triggered and the contacts will open so that the circuit is "opened", stopping the current from flowing and preventing further damage. As soon as the current falls below the defined limit, the contacts will close again and the circuit will be "closed", allowing current to flow again.

The 02200010MXP features an excellent response time, meaning that it is able to respond quickly and accurately to surges in current, providing further protection to the circuit it is protecting.

Conclusion

The 02200010MXP is a popular choice for a wide range of applications, due to its small size, reliability and affordability. It operates by sensing the current in a given circuit and triggering a response when the current exceeds a predetermined level, with an excellent response time. It is suitable for applications where space is at a premium, and is also becoming increasingly popular in military and aviation applications where its fast response and reliability are invaluable.
